Weightlifting Advice

[NoRiverRats]

Lots of great advice here, summed up well by surfdoc. I am a hargainer or ecto and have been training for a a few years, I recently went on a program to add mass. (Since September I have gone from 170 lbs. and 8% BF to 181 lbs and 9.5%BF.) Lots of good lifting advice is here, by leehrat, addickt etc...From personal experience I would say a few things;

-Learn proper technique for everything you do.
-Don't skip compound movements that you hate(for me it was squats). Learn to love them(yesterday was legs for me, I love the pain today!)
-And most importantly for us thin guys - EAT, EAT, EAT. If you think you are eating too much, you aren't, keep eating.

You can follow all the good advice here but if you don't eat lots its worthless.

At your stage it really doesnt matter what you do, you'll gain.
That said, it is a bit concerning that he has you guys working out so much. 3x a week should be more than enough. Actually if youre doing every body part every day 2x should be better.

Buy a bunch of steroids, MC Hammer pants, and cut off t-shirts.
Stop doing all exercises except bench press and anything involving triceps.
Do these every day.
Make sure you yell with every rep. And watch "Pumping Iron at least once a day.
You will be huge in no time.

If you wanna build muscle, then do heavy weights with fewer reps and more sets.

Also you wanna be doing excersises that excersise a lot of muscles at once eg squats, deadlifts, benchpress.

Another thing is your diet needs to be good you wanna be eating a lot of protein to help build muscle.
